The MUEC participates in various educational projects in collaboration with local schools. The school and the museum share the same educational goal: designing a cross-cutting project where the students become active players in producing meaning and knowledge, based on the appropriation of heritage from their immediate surroundings.

The Museu Etnològic i de Cultures del Món's educational programmes are aimed at, and created for, all the museum's visitors. Using the museum's wealth of ethnological heritage from around the world as a starting point, and anthropology as a methodological tool, the various projects aim to foster the creative and analytical skills of children and young people, while also creating places for learning, exchange, reflection and critical dialogue.
